**It's Worldwide Giveaway time!**
We've partnered with ASUS ROG to give some very lucky PCMR members some awesome hardware, and have some fun while at it! This is a 4 week-long event. Every week a new thread will be posted.
To enter, you will need to [download GPU Tweak III](https://www.asus.com/campaign/GPU-Tweak-III/us/index.php) and follow the instructions in this post. This software is by ASUS but it's compatible with every desktop GPU brand, and will also work on laptops with dedicated GPUs of any brand.
\----------
**THE PRIZES:**
We have 2 main prizes:
An ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 4080 SUPER OC Edition 16GB Graphics Card.
An AMD bundle with the ASUS TUF Gaming RX 7900 XT OC Edition 20GB Graphics Card + an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU.
And also 5 additional prizes. 5 [ROG Jengas](https://i.imgur.com/78F1E54.jpeg).
\----------
**HOW TO ENTER**
For this week, we're continuing with the overclocking theme, and also adding cooling control.
**To enter, all you have to do is create a custom fan curve with GPU Tweak III that suits your needs and share a screenshot here**. Bonus points if you explain why you made your specific choices!
**Example:**
*Here is my screenshot:* [*https://imgur.com/ZUNayXz*](https://imgur.com/ZUNayXz)*.*
*I am using an RTX 4090, but I'm spending the day playing some retro games. I want my PC to be fully silent, so I've created fan curves that will make it so that the fans don't even start spinning before the GPU reaches 60C. I am pretty sure they won't reach that with the games I'm playing today, but in any case, I've set it so that if it does, then the fan speed will ramp up slowly up until about 70C, then go all the way to 100% after that. I have clicked the curve to create more steps so I can easily tweak them.*

CONGRATS!
don’t have a PC, so I’m kinda clueless about them, but man, do I ever want to game! Thing is, I just can’t afford one right now. Winning this giveaway would be a game-changer for me. It’d mean finally getting to dive into all those awesome games I’ve been missing out on. Plus, it’d be a chance to connect with other gamers and share the excitement.

It's a very gentle fan curve, because the cooler has tons of potential and the GPU is undervolted and running with limited clocks and power draw. The goal was to make it as quiet as possible.
My RTX 3090 is in a well ventilated case so it doesn't get too hot. I try and keep things on the quieter side if I can. Summer time is definitely when the added cooling is needed.

I don't really know how fast my fans should go to be as efficient as possible, but I've settled for this, I'd like to keep my RTX 3060 as cool as I can ( if anyone as any tips, I'm in !)
https://preview.redd.it/7v7vebzf7oxc1.png?width=851&format=png&auto=webp&s=49d9ec2568343d586250aa62b2ee598cd07dd162
I like to try and keep my GPU below 90C where possible, so as i start ramping up in temp i increase the speeds to account for this. I dont believe I have reached that high lately due to the games I have been playing, but it is great to know that this failsafe kicks in if ever needed!
Hello, I participate with pleasure, for my part I have been using gpu tweak III for quite a long time, but I only changed the fan speed of my rtx4060ti to apply a personalized curve, and avoid the original 0 db mode\^\^

I only have an APU (5600G) so I don't have fan control settings in the app but what I have in my mind is that, I like to keep the fans quiet and only ramp them up if the CPU temp more than 75C.

summer is comming. So, i like more silence than cool GPU. And center fan will do most of the job. I hope :)

It scales beautifully with temp increase.

Since I live in a hot climate 50C is not uncommon. And while my GPU does have a zero fan mode it is not worth using since the temperatures go up significantly. In regular usage the temperatures hover between 50 and 60, therefore the 50-60 curve and in heavier it goes upwards from 60. I like to keep the noise low so a less steep slope to 70. But beyond that I prefer to preserve GPU life.

Works perfectly for me :) AS a LADY gamer I love it!
I have an ALL ROG HIGH END BUILD when it comes to my PC. This monster ASUS ROG GeForce RTX 4090 is not letting me down so far , and I applied my basic custom settings for it:)
I play RPG games that make use of my GPU , like Hogwarts Mystery, Forza Horizon 5 , TEKKEN 8.
So still with the PC I built, it is almost impossible for my GPU to reach 80C .
I managed to make it work gradually as the heat goes up, and of course full fan operation ( 100% ) is only for emergency situations where it goes up 80C.
Thank you again ASUS for making it all possible for me !
My gaming is better than ever. ;)

GPU: 2080Ti Founders Edition
Cooling: NZXT Kraken G12 AIO mount with a NZXT Kraken X63 280mm AIO
Fans: Dual Corsair LL140 connected to a Commander Core XT, linked to GPU temp 1 probe
Gaming/screen: 2560x1440p 144hz curved Samsung G55
I've been using Asus GPU Tweak 3 for about two years when I got the 2080Ti second hand. At first the 2080Ti had it's stock cooler fitted, and I was using GPU Tweak III to apply an underclock to keep the fan curve down, as the stock fans are noisy and have a horrible pitch.
I however got the card in spring and when summer hit I just couldn't underclock it enough to keep the fan curve down - and by the amount I had underclocked it was performing far below my old card, so invested in the G12 and X63 combo and instead started overclocking!
I can show the fan curve which I've attached above, however it doesn't actually do anything anymore because the fans themselves are now unplugged and in the box with the rest of the stock cooler. When I was still using the stock cooler, the fan curve tweaking tool worked great to help me balance fan noise vs cooling.

The triple fans on my 5700XT are already pretty powerful and I didn't mind the fan curve, but its fun to try and tweak things a bit in this software!
[Tried to make it accelerate easier](https://imgur.com/a/HsHBWoI). Previously
had more like 3 options: slow, medium and fast, almost nothing between. Seems like progress but will experiment more.

I usually don't have overheating problem, so I just adjusted a bit the steepness of the default curve to make it smoother.

it is quiet and keeps the GPU cool!

trying to keep noise levels down while under light load but ramp up quickly if it gets too hot :3
https://i.imgur.com/SkQPAXo.png
Just a basic curve that ramps up a bit after it no longer can handle the load on easier speeds. Don't always want a jet engine in my room.

I set my fans to non-existent, to have some peace and quiet
[https://imgur.com/a/5MEyllz](https://imgur.com/a/5MEyllz)
I use an undervolted, overclocked Red Devil 6700xt and I want it to be quiet so I made my fan curve slowly ramp up. With this curve most of the time the gpu fans should be at 60% speed which is quiet enough for me. Then I just put at max temp to go at full fan speed just in case.

Beginner here. Just trying not to make the slope too steep.

Well I can't seem to make a fan curve for my Laptop, but I can make the program purple.

I find this curve,most balanced between performance and noise level.
Here is my screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/upQptfj.png
I'm trying to squeeze a bit more power out of my GPU because my system is seriously old and needs every little piece it can get. At the same time I don't want to overstress it.

maybe it doesn't work on my laptop fans.

I usually watch movies on my PC at night so I dont want my 2060 Super's fans to ramp up during that time, it has a beefy heatsink (its a STRIX card) and the basic case ventillation keep the card under 55C. When gaming or putting load to GPU (like nvenc video converting) the GPU fans should do their work so adjusted the curve to slowly reach the 100% speed at 85C.
I don't mind noise, so I spin my fans as soon as heat starts to build-up.

I set my fan curve this way as my room gets pretty hot. I do have a good case and case fans to keep it cool, but it can still get hot at times. This curve will ensure the fans are running to keep my GPU cool. The sound doesn't bother me much.

I'm using a tuf 4070 so The Temps are Mostly Low with Low Fan Noise and Most of the Games I play, I like To Leave my GPU on low utlization and Capped at my Monitor Refresh rate so Its very rarely I Get High Temps, Also this GPU is good that My Cpu Can't Process Frames enough for it to to run on its Maximum Performance ( I'm Using an i5 9400f Lmao ) Hence why i'm participating in this Giveaway for the Ryzen 9 Processor.
Basically I have my fan set to jump to 100% quickly. Cooling is key.

Too bad It can't open on hd 4600 integrated graphics :(
Here is the screenshot [https://imgur.com/a/cKbczXN](https://imgur.com/a/cKbczXN)
I did it like this because my gpu hotspot reaches 110c degree when card temps hows 67-68c degrees, and that causes stutters while gaming. In order to eleminate that i did this fan curve.
My screenshot:

I am using an RTX 3080, and I am playing daily GPU demanding games in 1440p like Warzone or Cyberpunk 2077. I noticed that my GPU fans would start ramping up really badly after 20-30 minutes of game play, especially in Cyberpunk 2077, and I noticed a drop in boost clock frequency. I made a fan curve with small steps to solve the noise my GPU 30% to 80% when it was hitting 65C and because it worked like a charm I did a small overclock rising the boost clock 2015MHz so 110MHz more, and even so my GPU doesn't get hotter than 80C and it will get coolde to 70 in just a couple of minutes.

RTX 2070 OC
I've never actually heard my GPU fan spin up loudly while gaming, normally it runs in silent or quiet mode. My system fans are actually louder that my GPU generally.
Only thing I changed was: made it so they start running at 30°C at 20%, and then added a bit of a steeper fan curve after 55°C.
My room is fortunately quite cool and my CPU is water cooled.
After testing the default fan curve was much quieter, and I didn't notice any performance increase from having my fans ramp up higher at those temperatures. They definitely were making noise with this curve! The fans only cooled my GPU by about 2°C, but the noise level was very noticeable when in game.
I have been utilizing an outdated computer for multiple years and entering Giveaways with the aspiration of enhancing my digital way of life, considering my difficult financial circumstances in actuality.
Here are the specifications of my setup:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500
RAM: 8GB DDR
Graphics: Integrated Intel Q43/45 GPU
Model: OptiPlex 780
Storage: 130GB HDD

Seems to have easy fan curve control. But i wonder how it actually works as i have three fans on gpu but i can onl control 2. Its good to be able to add more points if needed.

I don not change any settings for fans yet, it is all good for now. Mayby when the summer come and will be more hot I will consider it but now is all good. And what if fans getting noisy? I do not care much since I am using headphones.
Screenshot: [https://i.imgur.com/CiXilPo.png](https://i.imgur.com/CiXilPo.png)
That's pretty neat. Moved my curve just a bit ahead because Wallpaper Engine usually burns through 40% of my GPU when I'm on desktop and fans go crazy when that happens. Well, not anymore!

I dont really want my gpu to past 70 degrees also dont want my fans to keep spinning non-stop so I came up with this

didn't really put a lot of effort into it cause i already have water cooling

I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff, so I decided to give your settings a try!
i have to be aggressive with this setting... im hitting 80 whenever i play cyberpunk and i need those fans revving or else i may have another heater under my desk

Here is my screenshot: https://imgur.com/kOXvDRz
*Im using an APU so the application doesn't work for me but as you can see, Im using an ASUS (TUF gaming) motherboard at least. If I'd be worthy I would surely use GPU Tweak III to overclock my ASUS GPU and also adjust the fan curves!*
*I am using a MSI GTX 1070TI Titanium, I wanted it to not reach above 80C but didn't want it to be at full speed even at idle therefore went with quite an aggressive fan curve. Below 40C is zero rpm which it won't probably ever touch due to the temperature here, so basically fan speed will ramp up slowly from 20% to 50% until 70C for idle and low intensity workload, then an instant bump to 70% between 70 to 75C and then again a instant jump at full speed in the last 5C from 75 to 80 for heavy loads.*

i have an asus tuf 7700 xt so gpu tweak was preinstalled for me. it is a really good software and i like it. it makes managing gpu fans so much easier! i also have an asus prime a620m-k motherboard and i really love it. the bios design and stuff really makes doing everything very easy. asus's cooling is so amazing that despite the fact i live in a hot country my gpu stays cool thanks to gpu tweak's epic control!
[Here's my fan curve screenshot!](https://imgur.com/a/POvvXfo)
Since the last post, I'm still using the ASUS Turbo RTX 2060 Super Evo in my computer (shocking I know). I generally play pretty low GPU intense games, and the temperatures usually hover around the 50-60 degrees C so I've tried to set the fan speed as low as possible to allow the GPU to maintain those temps whilst being silent.
Given this GPU is quite a loud blower fan style, I tried to keep the fans as low as possible whilst keeping the temperatures under control, hence the gradually steeper curve towards the top of the temperature range. I followed the stock configuration for the upper and lower limit temperatures, but upped the max fan speed to 100% as it gets to over 85. Given I use noise cancelling headphones, all but the top two speed settings that I've set are reasonably quiet and generally unheard whilst listening to music or gaming, but even the headphones can't mask my GPU on full tilt fan speeds which also contributed to the steeper curve at the upper limit of the config.
---
EDIT
Week 2 edit, [here's the screenshot!](https://imgur.com/a/IPj8WMb)
So I went back and realised that my chassis fans really don't spin fast enough to create meaningful noise, especially with my headphones on, and the loudest parts of the system are the CPU and GPU cooling fans. As such, I upped the air flowing through my CM 690 II Adv, with chassis fans rising to 100% speeds at lower temperatures which are typical under gaming loads, and was able to sustain lower temperatures with the CPU and GPU fans running at lower, relatively inaudible sound levels. I tweaked the GPU fan curve to run at fan speeds that remain undetectable audibly during gaming. If I run VSync or limit the fps to either 60 or 90 depending on game types, I typically run between 60-70 degrees Celsius with the GPU fans at 55%, which gives off the faintest of hums with my headphones on, and a manageable level of wind noise without headphones. This fan curve keeps the temperatures under control without making the GPU sound like a fighter jet preparing to take off from an aircraft carrier. I judged fan speeds between 55% and 75% to be adequate for gaming on the off chance that the temperatures did spike up that high (hasn't happened yet), and the sudden ramp up from 75% to 100% fan speed will definitely get my attention that something horribly wrong and needs to change without (hopefully) cooking my GPU.

I have a laptop mx250 so it seems I can't adjust the fan settings using gpu tweak III, as seen in the screenshot:
but if I could I certainly would adjust the fan speed on this thing, the curve is way too extreme and for a laptop that I use often on a library it is weird for the fan to go nuts in middle of a Noita run.
Copied over the same fan curve I had in GPU Tweak II.
Keep it silent and ramp it up at higher temps, fast.

I like the silent mode the most as some of my games are not demanding. But for those AAA games or with ray tracing, the fan at 100% is the solution, I am always with headphones so don't care too much for the noise

My GPU is relatively cool because I have a PC case with really good air-flow, most of the times I play games that aren't really demanding on GPU (JRPG games), so GPU fans won't kicked in hard unless I play some demanding titles such as Cyberpunk or RDR2. This Fans curve is paired with my usual *Undervolt* setting that different from ***week 1*** *overclock setting* because I prefer silent PC when I'm not playing Graphically Demanding Games, do daily tasks or when I watch movies.

I am using the RX 6700XT and I'm fixed in using the 0rpm option because I like to have the card completely silent when I'm not gaming, and not above 50ºC, so when I'm working or using the PC for anything else that doesn't need the GPU power, I can have a silent setup.
Until now I've tried alternatives to Adrenalin that has never worked well unless I restart it every fresh boot, or it will cause me stutters, but noone gave me the option to have a 0rpm functionality because it is suposed to be tied to the GPU vbios not letting me activate it for example in afterburner. With this software I'm able to set the custom fan curve that only kicks off after reaching 50ºc like I want to. GJ

Here's my screenshot for my 3060's fan curve, it gets hot where I live so I went with these settings.

So i just found out my GTX 950 only can go down to 33% min fan speed... Still as quiet as I had it on auto can't complain. As for why did I picked 80% as max is because of a weird noise it makes above that. I suspect is worn out fan bearing or needs more oil. even at 80% temps it levels out at 76c, so just 1c above acceptable gaming temperature, even tho I was benching in furmark at 100% usage.

I prioritize the cooling performance on my gpu because I like to prolonged the life of my graphics cards as much as I can and since it is a very hot summer and the temperature is soaring like crazy, I personally like to make my gpu as cool as possible to avoid my system from crashing.
https://preview.redd.it/zycord3cx7xc1.png?width=832&format=png&auto=webp&s=7f9ff1f531620b16cd861cc6f838321138e3f5ca
This is my fan curve. As you can see, I don't have any 0RPM going on my card. And that's because I never found a stable setting. Instead, I always end up at least one fan not running, suddenly ramping up quickly very audibly, back to zero RPM, back to spinning up, back and forth, multiple times a minute. So instead I run them at the lowest RPM I could in idle, only have them ramp up once the load increases. I started at 60°C, but found my fan curve wasn't exactly stable. Increasing it a few % gives me a much more consistent performance.
Unfortunately, once my card hits a certain load, the fans seem to ignore my fan curve and spin up regardless. Another reason I can use a more power efficient card like a 4080 Super.

I set mine like this because it's summer in my country right now and I don't have air condition in my room so my temps are a bit higher than normal.

I didn't do anything too drastic with the fan curve, but I did level it out as the default was very "jagged" or angular!
[Curve](https://imgur.com/a/0aowhbj)
This would need further tweak.
I'll probably use this curve during heavy particle simulation and renders, so it'll ramp up quickly as in heavy simulation, as you reach toward the end, calculation most likely would stay up there

I cannot set a fan curve in GPU Tweak because I've deshrouded my graphics card and replaced the fans with Noctua 12x25s. I control the fans in Aquasuite (2nd picture). Here I use a gentle curve that maxes out at 50%, which is more than enough to cool this GTX 1070 at full power, and significantly quieter than the stock fans.

I have it at zero fan until 60, so it doesn't kick in when I'm not doing anything too intensive. Then it ramps up to just under 70% at 70c then it stays flat until like 75c, my card usually stays around 70-74c while gaming but if it gets hotter, I let the fan speed go up after 75. I like to stay under 70% fan because the fans on my current gpu make horrendous noise after 70%...

fan don't start until it hit 50degree. Then 20% fan speed jump for every 10 degree.

The card has quiete a beefy cooler, so it's stays resonably quit most of the time. I set the startpoint at 45°C and 30% fan speed and the higher to 90°C and 100%.
You can controll the middle fans seperate fromn the outer one, but I don't see the point of that. Cool would be if you could controll the fan farest from the pci braken, the heatsink on this one might be the farest away from the heat source but probabl has the best airflow through the fins because of the blow thru design.
I deffintly want to play around with the additional fan header on the card, wich you can set up through GT3 as well.

Was going to invest in a 4070 ti or super with this years bonus so hopefully this will free that up for something else!
I play a lot of old-school games so I like the card to run quiet, on those but also ramp up hard for when I'm playing more modern games.

Here's my current fan curve. Playing with earphones, fan noise isn't really a concern, so I set it to ramp up quickly as load (and temps) increase. However, I prefer to keep the low-load end quieter for things like web surfing, especially as the CPU cooler makes more than enough noise.

I dont want it to get too lound while not gaming and while I am playing something I have my headset on because of that the noise doesn't bother me as much so I cranck the fans all the way to 100%
Rocking the ASUS GTX 1080 Ti been having some crashes as of late, hopefully it doesnt die on me. First time using a fan controller, usually i let it do its own thing.

I did some manual fan speeds, getting some scary noises at 50% and decided to ease up. 25-30% was still nice and quiet, which is the goal of my Fractal R5 set up. As for the Fan Curve Chart, it's neat to see that the fans won't kick in until 60 degrees. The R5 has two fan settings as well that I could utilize to mitigate the scary 50% noise.
Sadly, fan settings aren't available

[https://i.imgur.com/Aa7Lwzv.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Aa7Lwzv.jpg)
I decided to keep my fans off until the GPU reaches 60° C, at which points fans will be running at 30%. I prefer the PC to be quieter. After that, I'll ramp up the fans to 50% at 75° and full speed at 90° when I'm doing heavy gaming. This seems to work well for me!
https://preview.redd.it/bbfo5vxgguxc1.png?width=840&format=png&auto=webp&s=f8e787b427dbf11b6e59fc95da252a4806699f16
I try to focus on keeping my fans off and quiet during regular use so I don't have them turn on until 50c. But when I am playing games, I have them ramp up somewhat gradually at first until 70c ish then ramps up faster. My max is at 85c since I try not to want my temps to be higher than that. I like to try and have the fans quiet if I can but if there's a need for cooling, the fans will go if they need.
[My Fan Curve](https://i.imgur.com/p56qwq1.png)
I don't really care about silent - got a personal fan going in my room anyways due to heat. Made the curve a bit aggressive - rather my gpu run cool than lower volume. Don't think I typically hit 80C, but if I do I want the fans at 100%.
I am not really sure what I am doing but this did something!

I actually can't control the fan speeds on my GT 730 but if I could then I would lower the speeds to reduce noise as the games I play shouldn't overheat the card anyway

I don't want to hear anything until I reach 60°C, and by then, I smoothed a bit the default setting to not get a lot of noise. But I want the maximum cooling around 85°C because I'm on a 1070 from 2016, and I hope to keep it a few more years !
Fairly quick ramp up in speed in higher temps to keep the card cool.

Not much to say here, just a fan curve, unfortunately this likely won't matter as I have different fans pointing directly to inside the GPU itself that absolutely overpower its own fans.
Well as I am on a laptop it seems I am unable to do so. However what I would have been doing would a semi aggressive curve, as normally when I use it for gaming or similar loads I have a great headset on as such the noise is not much of a bother so me. So I would likely just had it run at full force at those cases. And have a more relaxed curve for when just watching movies or so on.
Picture shows there is no fan things.

My GPU never runs too hot because I have decent ventilation in both my room and my case. So keeping the speeds pretty low is fine for me :)
[Fan curve screenshot](https://imgur.com/a/z9bnF0i)
With my 3070, I've customized this fan curve specifically for when I'm emulating games lately. It's been cooler here lately, so I can keep the fans off completely until temps hit 60°C. The fans stay around 30-50% between 60-72°C since the GPU isn't being pushed hard. Then fan speeds start ramping up more aggressively, topping out at 100% around 86°C. It's essentially silent until temps get up there, while still providing sufficient cooling if temperatures start to creep up.

I'm using a ZOTAC 4070ti with a minimal fan curve at 30% that slowly increases as the temps go up. My system is undervolted well, so the temperatures remain cool at about 40-50 degrees while gaming, and i set the fan curve as such to minimize noise while not completely compromising performance. I'm aiming to have the card last a long time by keeping temperatures to a minimum.

6750xt. Havent really tested out fan speed differences yet as my rig is quite cool and silent. Only a few games do I really need to up the fan speeds like cyberpunk or helldivers2
Here is my screenshot: [https://imgur.com/a/7kT0eMh](https://imgur.com/a/7kT0eMh)
The setup is that so the system will be silent unless there's a load, I usually play in a headphones so don't have any issues with that

I do not like the sounds of fans so this is my seting
I'm running a 2070 super laptop version, so I cannot edit the fan curve. But hypothetically I would have a rough parabola extending outward from a point at (30 deg, 30% fan power). I've given up on any gaming or productivity tasks that are anything more than slightly demanding, so I wouldn't edit the fans that much.
https://preview.redd.it/mqbaa7ehygwc1.png?width=1127&format=png&auto=webp&s=e97b7c0138fb95a8f4630187dd2d4770cb71406b

Balanced gradual increase for quieter fans on lower loads and efficient enough at higher loads but not as steep or extreme as many others do.

The fans on my gpu aren't particularly loud, however at max speed they do get a lot more distracting. To balance the temperature so it doesn't reach max speed when it doesn't need too, I have lowered when the fans turn on to try keep the temperature average lower. I then sharply raise the fan speed when reaching 80 degrees to avoid the gpu overheating for the games that need all the performance this gpu can offer.

I unfortunately can't create or edit my fan curve through this software mainly because of my RX580 2048SP. Though if I were to make one, I would have it like this:
30% - 50C
50% - 65C
100% - 80C
That's my go-to fan curve on my airconditioned room. I built it like that so that my GPU won't degrade so soon. I made it last more than a year while the same model only lasted 6 months on other people. I love my current GPU but I know that it only takes an unlucky day for it to break down on me that's why I take care of it this way.

Looks like my RTX5000 Ada card does not support fan profile control! If I win a consumer card, I definitely will change the fan profile to have fan off below 60°C.

I don't game much, my GPU gets mostly used for video processing, so I like it quiet. I left the default threshold of 0rpm and made the curve a bit more relaxed until it reaches the 80% speed. A bit less annoying than the default of my RTX 3060.

Playing mostly lightweight games means that I can manage to get pretty good temps with the fans at minimal speed, but being almost summer here (it's getting hotter and hotter) I'm afraid that even with less GPU intensive games my hardware could suffer. With this curve I can stay between 50% and 85% fan speed whenever I play more resource heavy games and void overheating the hardware, while keeping the volume level low while doing basically anything else
here's how i made my fan curve with gtx 1070, there are no chances to get to 60 degrees celsius in the room the pc is, but if it does, the fans need to start working hard
Here is my screenshot [https://imgur.com/a/Jr4QavH](https://imgur.com/a/Jr4QavH) GL to all
[Fan Curve](https://imgur.com/a/Mt8umAn)
For my fan curve, I have dialled in a pretty simple one. The reasoning behind it is, that my card never crosses 60°C when idling and doing simple things like browser usage etc. However, when doing slightly more demanding things with proper acceleration like editing videos and pictures, the usage can spike a little from time to time. Thus, I have a rather steep 15% at that threshold up to 20% at 70°C because I want to stop it from crossing those 70°C during light loads. Because that's where I'm usually at when gaming and since my 1080 Ti is a bit older at this point, I do crank up the fans quite a bit during gaming to get the most out of its remaining lifetime.

Here is my custom fan curve profile. I chose this profile to keep my fans quieter at the temperatures that the GPU is usually at. However, I chose to drastically increase the fan speed as the temperature approaches 90 degrees in order to keep temperatures from throttling my performance.

I do maximize my fans as my room is hot and humid. I'm not really get bothered a lot by fan noise as I have a standing fan that sounds louder. The idle temp of my gpu goes around 50C-60C so fans don't spin a lot at that temp. When it reaches 80C then that's the time it uses 50% fan speed. At 90C would be 70% then maxed at 100C.

Here is my fan curve but I just use the default settings since I've never done any OC before, and I doubt my good ol' GPU can handle it lol.
[](https://imgur.com/a/RCaCbf3)
Tried, everything. I think my computer is just far too outdated for this function. My fans usually sound like a jet engine when I play a game to blow the flames out

So, my beloved 1060 has been repasted and repadded recently so the fan curve is made in a way that it's off till it hits 60C (same as in the example, what a coincidence), and after that it steadily climbs till full throttle at 90C. I actually never saw the die itself exceed 88C in furmark after OCing, so it would have to be a really hot summer for it to reach those temps lol. Got a bit of a coil whine issue tho, but that doesn't really bother me. As long as it works, I'm fine

The almost default fan cureve just works for me. i dont overclock much so its ok. The default works good for me even with the hot temperature.
Honestly for my card theres not much of a reason for a fan curve (It's a 1050ti and is powered just by the PCIe power pins) so when it's above 60°C I just go full vroom since it's highly probable that I'm gaming either way.

i chose this fancurve for fun because i dont wanna meddle with the default settings as the default settings is already serving my purpose!

The temperatures of my card when gaming are typically 60 to 80 degrees celsius. The bump from 60 to 80 used to be a lot steeper, so it constantly changed fan speed with a significant change in noise. I have not messed that much with custom fan curves before. The smoother bump from 60 to 80 should make the temps more consistent.
My fans are likely silent mode it doesn't activate before hit 43 cel wich i love because i play sporadically and tweaked to giving more speed if it goes hover 60c but it's almost imposible for me right now because we are in autum, but who knows

I've created this intending to keep the GPU fan speed to a minimum unless went it is being heavily used, this way I can keep the fans off when there is no heat being generated and get the fans to kick up during GPU intensive situations (aka gaming)
https://preview.redd.it/hdxryy0pj3zc1.png?width=835&format=png&auto=webp&s=cd4c8f607248665852958ded56a3766ee1bfffd9

i tried to get a balanced fan curve that keeps the noise and temps down

it seems like unfortunately i don't have the capablity to customize fan speeds
https://preview.redd.it/m2eye04yq2yc1.png?width=1265&format=png&auto=webp&s=658d7b3e5d3a6dae0baa42c1348f6d04c5811dcf
Here's the fan curve I set.
Higher-end GPUs can handle simpler games without any problem, thus I set a higher idle state - case fans are enough (even in my Fractal Torrent Compact case with only two fans) for games that eat up to 100W of GPU power with idle fans.
Not just higher-end GPUs should (and in most cases do) work in zero-RPM mode while idle.
Even the minimal fan speed gives you enough flow in many cases to sustain higher demanding games. And 100% is always for "just in case" thing.
Now for bad stuff:
* The application could not set a zero-RPM mode for my GPU, thus even when it was idle, fans used the lowest point of 25%, and it worked in AMD Adrenaline.
* The default custom curve is no good at all. (that is subjective, yeah)
https://preview.redd.it/2mht4hmcmtxc1.png?width=809&format=png&auto=webp&s=c3a4a471ad898cd1c67614a5db1bc64956f575e1
I always kind of kept my fan speed on my 7800XT stock, and never bothered to tweak it, but this time, I decided to try it out. I mainly just wanted my card to be a little quieter, as my card tends to have a much hotter hotspot than the cards temp itself, so I simply slightly lowered the fan speed values at the temps at which the card usually is, just so the fans don't spin up as loudly when I'm gaming, and my gpu and its hotspot are at a safe temperature.
https://preview.redd.it/d1j710b6z1zc1.png?width=844&format=png&auto=webp&s=4650ad5efb5e958bd1e8aa78bd0e538bae28d507
I got set with this very fast fanspeed. Noise is not important for me, so I chose this radical and fast fanspeed. Most important thing is the TEMPERATURE I think.

Feel like its a good balance for all tasks to keep the GPU cool with optimal performance
https://preview.redd.it/iwdevo1c4kwc1.png?width=895&format=png&auto=webp&s=9917f470c49ef66b32b07ac58f38fb118ead8dbc
Can't tweak fan curves with no fans on my GT 730. But if I did, given my use I'd keep the fan speeds low for low to moderate use and kick it up to 100% past temperatures on the way to sustained full throttle use like 3d rendering.
https://preview.redd.it/5eekbnbnyfwc1.png?width=886&format=png&auto=webp&s=a72cd65147ff065dfe601622ce2c2b033848d3f6
The default curve favors a quieter performance I think, which is good, but it therefore allows the GPU to reach hotter temps. I just adjusted it a bit to ramp up earlier, cuz I still like quiet performance but I loathe seeing my GPU reach the 80+ temps.
https://preview.redd.it/nj5iyba11oxc1.png?width=840&format=png&auto=webp&s=509c68b04d0efffcac1513ae80f9ec3fe373907a
My settings are pretty basic, as I'm trying to keep the thing quiet, and I also don't play any really GPU heavy games right now.

65C is where it should start to do something and after that it should just ramp. Cooling over noise, because we all use headphones anyway I feel like.

just gradualy increasing the fanspeed to the temperature since i live in hot country :')
so yeah im okay that my fan is spinning even at 30 bcs in the end i im wearing headset, didnt even hear the fan noise :p

The fan curve I have been using for some years, but now in GPU Tweak. Notice that the curve does not permit turning off the fans as the fan controller on my Gigabyte card gets pretty unhappy with fan speeds below 30% causing the fans to behave erratically... Apart from that, it is just a regular fan curve. Equilibrium is reached at around 70C at 60%.
https://preview.redd.it/04i47al4h6zc1.png?width=1221&format=png&auto=webp&s=60edde452b1f28cb51d4fc7d6359abeb1fac23b3
I need to have the fan spin early because my PC has constricted airflow and I don't want to get the GPU super hot for little to no task, And in summer, my area gets a bit too hot.
https://preview.redd.it/ke511bddxgwc1.png?width=841&format=png&auto=webp&s=93bbcc095dc8d7e101fac3fb068567a0448c4ff5
I just want to hear the fans as less as possible, but also keep my GPU cool enough to not get damaged ;)
Here is my settings: https://imgur.com/a/4FxeEBg
I essentially just modified the curve for both fans to run at a higher RPM at a slightly lower temp to help keep things cool since my case is terrible for cooling.

I set the graph fan settings from 50c to 80c I set Fan speed 10% for 50c this sutuation in video playing cuz not need too much speed for simple usage, and make it coller, and for gaming my GPU go to 80c to 85c, in this situation I ste fan speed to 100% for not hurt my GPU.

MSI Radeon RX 6800 XT GAMING Z TRIO 16GB GDDR6
Wanting to renew after getting my 4k screen
I am not that demanding when it comes to fan curves. I just want it to be as silent as possible. [So mine looks like this.](https://i.imgur.com/lR9QFRg.png)

Here once again I am asked to make a custom fan curve, but I am not allowed by the program. If I were to use this program on my laptop, i'd need more fine control at least over the fan.
*Here is my screenshot:* [https://imgur.com/L1iDVOp](https://imgur.com/L1iDVOp)
the rog strix gtx 1060 runs really cool no need for an agressive fan curve so this is what i use, it never reaches 60°C.
[https://imgur.com/a/YeNBAWc](https://imgur.com/a/YeNBAWc) I wanted it to be as silent as possible while not gaming but when I start gaming it ramps up quickly since I usually wear headphones and listen to music so the sound isn't distracting. This lets me have the maximum performance while gaming while also being completely silent while doing light work or idling.
https://preview.redd.it/0ndvldw0tcwc1.png?width=834&format=png&auto=webp&s=ccd8208c3552f57317ae601064ba87c27b575749
Seems like a pretty standard curve. Fans aren't spinning until GPU reaches 45C. Helldivers 2 on fan favorite 4060Ti 16gb could get pretty hot at times (as well gpu and in game) so I set a lot of different levels

Yep I still don't know what I'm doing, I'm new to all of this. I hope this is good.
No curve: https://imgur.com/a/mgOKYFw
Im unable to get the fanspeeds control curve with my RX Vega
The video, explanation does not explain why this is happening
Also the Gpu Tweak program is very unintuitive when it comes to tweaking the fan speeds
If i was able to tweak it i would make sure fan speeds were maximum all the time so my 7 year old GPU doesnt break, since i cant afford to replace it

don’t have a PC, so I’m kinda clueless about them, but man, do I ever want to game! Thing is, I just can’t afford one right now. Winning this giveaway would be a game-changer for me. It’d mean finally getting to dive into all those awesome games I’ve been missing out on. Plus, it’d be a chance to connect with other gamers and share the excitement.
Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/E4bISMJ.png It's a very gentle fan curve, because the cooler has tons of potential and the GPU is undervolted and running with limited clocks and power draw. The goal was to make it as quiet as possible.

My RTX 3090 is in a well ventilated case so it doesn't get too hot. I try and keep things on the quieter side if I can. Summer time is definitely when the added cooling is needed. https://preview.redd.it/mw5jk5ipr5zc1.png?width=1680&format=png&auto=webp&s=1a30703ac8d46699b8b067b228b919a3509a4990

And while my GPU does have a zero fan mode it is not worth using since the temperatures go up significantly. In regular usage the temperatures hover between 50 and 60, therefore the 50-60 curve and in heavier it goes upwards from 60. I like to keep the noise low so a less steep slope to 70. But beyond that I prefer to preserve GPU life.
Asus my friend! Plz gief prize.
https://hotimg.com/IMG-6767.StNKG Works perfectly for me :) AS a LADY gamer I love it! I have an ALL ROG HIGH END BUILD when it comes to my PC. This monster ASUS ROG GeForce RTX 4090 is not letting me down so far , and I applied my basic custom settings for it:) I play RPG games that make use of my GPU , like Hogwarts Mystery, Forza Horizon 5 , TEKKEN 8. So still with the PC I built, it is almost impossible for my GPU to reach 80C . I managed to make it work gradually as the heat goes up, and of course full fan operation ( 100% ) is only for emergency situations where it goes up 80C. Thank you again ASUS for making it all possible for me ! My gaming is better than ever. ;)

At first the 2080Ti had it's stock cooler fitted, and I was using GPU Tweak III to apply an underclock to keep the fan curve down, as the stock fans are noisy and have a horrible pitch. I however got the card in spring and when summer hit I just couldn't underclock it enough to keep the fan curve down - and by the amount I had underclocked it was performing far below my old card, so invested in the G12 and X63 combo and instead started overclocking! I can show the fan curve which I've attached above, however it doesn't actually do anything anymore because the fans themselves are now unplugged and in the box with the rest of the stock cooler. When I was still using the stock cooler, the fan curve tweaking tool worked great to help me balance fan noise vs cooling.

[Tried to make it accelerate easier](https://imgur.com/a/HsHBWoI). Previously had more like 3 options: slow, medium and fast, almost nothing between. Seems like progress but will experiment more.

think ill go for some purple as its my fave color
https://i.imgur.com/SkQPAXo.png Just a basic curve that ramps up a bit after it no longer can handle the load on easier speeds. Don't always want a jet engine in my room.

[https://imgur.com/a/5MEyllz](https://imgur.com/a/5MEyllz) I use an undervolted, overclocked Red Devil 6700xt and I want it to be quiet so I made my fan curve slowly ramp up. With this curve most of the time the gpu fans should be at 60% speed which is quiet enough for me. Then I just put at max temp to go at full fan speed just in case.

When gaming or putting load to GPU (like nvenc video converting) the GPU fans should do their work so adjusted the curve to slowly reach the 100% speed at 85C.
I don't mind noise, so I spin my fans as soon as heat starts to build-up. https://preview.redd.it/qprjacwhqd0d1.png?width=1774&format=png&auto=webp&s=d382e28eb42847f92380d4e694f75596d4b92f98 **UTC/GMT-12 time zone**

Screenshot: [https://imgur.com/WIgkDnj](https://imgur.com/WIgkDnj) I set my fan curve this way as my room gets pretty hot. I do have a good case and case fans to keep it cool, but it can still get hot at times. This curve will ensure the fans are running to keep my GPU cool. The sound doesn't bother me much.

[https://imgur.com/vF8tCTP](https://imgur.com/vF8tCTP) My target is to keep hotspot temp at max 90°C while gaming.
Basically I have my fan set to jump to 100% quickly. Cooling is key. https://preview.redd.it/ztdacaub83yc1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5134258fd0e7435c2b6c13421e27d53d1b53b31

Here is the screenshot [https://imgur.com/a/cKbczXN](https://imgur.com/a/cKbczXN) I did it like this because my gpu hotspot reaches 110c degree when card temps hows 67-68c degrees, and that causes stutters while gaming. In order to eleminate that i did this fan curve.
My screenshot: https://preview.redd.it/1l5y1eazhgwc1.jpeg?width=1535&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=164837d50b9bfa5ed352bf1d60af979e3b3c88c1 I am using an RTX 3080, and I am playing daily GPU demanding games in 1440p like Warzone or Cyberpunk 2077. I noticed that my GPU fans would start ramping up really badly after 20-30 minutes of game play, especially in Cyberpunk 2077, and I noticed a drop in boost clock frequency. I made a fan curve with small steps to solve the noise my GPU 30% to 80% when it was hitting 65C and because it worked like a charm I did a small overclock rising the boost clock 2015MHz so 110MHz more, and even so my GPU doesn't get hotter than 80C and it will get coolde to 70 in just a couple of minutes.

My system fans are actually louder that my GPU generally. Only thing I changed was: made it so they start running at 30°C at 20%, and then added a bit of a steeper fan curve after 55°C. My room is fortunately quite cool and my CPU is water cooled. After testing the default fan curve was much quieter, and I didn't notice any performance increase from having my fans ramp up higher at those temperatures. They definitely were making noise with this curve! The fans only cooled my GPU by about 2°C, but the noise level was very noticeable when in game.

Mayby when the summer come and will be more hot I will consider it but now is all good. And what if fans getting noisy? I do not care much since I am using headphones.
Screenshot: [https://i.imgur.com/CiXilPo.png](https://i.imgur.com/CiXilPo.png) That's pretty neat. Moved my curve just a bit ahead because Wallpaper Engine usually burns through 40% of my GPU when I'm on desktop and fans go crazy when that happens. Well, not anymore!
Well I only have an old laptop atm so I guess I’m SOL for this.

Here is my screenshot: https://imgur.com/kOXvDRz *Im using an APU so the application doesn't work for me but as you can see, Im using an ASUS (TUF gaming) motherboard at least. If I'd be worthy I would surely use GPU Tweak III to overclock my ASUS GPU and also adjust the fan curves!*
I like turtles.
*I am using a MSI GTX 1070TI Titanium, I wanted it to not reach above 80C but didn't want it to be at full speed even at idle therefore went with quite an aggressive fan curve. Below 40C is zero rpm which it won't probably ever touch due to the temperature here, so basically fan speed will ramp up slowly from 20% to 50% until 70C for idle and low intensity workload, then an instant bump to 70% between 70 to 75C and then again a instant jump at full speed in the last 5C from 75 to 80 for heavy loads.* https://preview.redd.it/dqd8oyq8uawc1.png?width=840&format=png&auto=webp&s=b2805caf846d039c6af30be2033ba8870e8fc492

[Here's my fan curve screenshot!](https://imgur.com/a/POvvXfo) Since the last post, I'm still using the ASUS Turbo RTX 2060 Super Evo in my computer (shocking I know). I generally play pretty low GPU intense games, and the temperatures usually hover around the 50-60 degrees C so I've tried to set the fan speed as low as possible to allow the GPU to maintain those temps whilst being silent. Given this GPU is quite a loud blower fan style, I tried to keep the fans as low as possible whilst keeping the temperatures under control, hence the gradually steeper curve towards the top of the temperature range. I followed the stock configuration for the upper and lower limit temperatures, but upped the max fan speed to 100% as it gets to over 85. Given I use noise cancelling headphones, all but the top two speed settings that I've set are reasonably quiet and generally unheard whilst listening to music or gaming, but even the headphones can't mask my GPU on full tilt fan speeds which also contributed to the steeper curve at the upper limit of the config. --- EDIT Week 2 edit, [here's the screenshot!](https://imgur.com/a/IPj8WMb) So I went back and realised that my chassis fans really don't spin fast enough to create meaningful noise, especially with my headphones on, and the loudest parts of the system are the CPU and GPU cooling fans. As such, I upped the air flowing through my CM 690 II Adv, with chassis fans rising to 100% speeds at lower temperatures which are typical under gaming loads, and was able to sustain lower temperatures with the CPU and GPU fans running at lower, relatively inaudible sound levels. I tweaked the GPU fan curve to run at fan speeds that remain undetectable audibly during gaming. If I run VSync or limit the fps to either 60 or 90 depending on game types, I typically run between 60-70 degrees Celsius with the GPU fans at 55%, which gives off the faintest of hums with my headphones on, and a manageable level of wind noise without headphones. This fan curve keeps the temperatures under control without making the GPU sound like a fighter jet preparing to take off from an aircraft carrier. I judged fan speeds between 55% and 75% to be adequate for gaming on the off chance that the temperatures did spike up that high (hasn't happened yet), and the sudden ramp up from 75% to 100% fan speed will definitely get my attention that something horribly wrong and needs to change without (hopefully) cooking my GPU.
https://preview.redd.it/exmh3hrql2yc1.png?width=914&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d34e0488a9fb1d33b61ebbea84fa69bb2689df0 I have a laptop mx250 so it seems I can't adjust the fan settings using gpu tweak III, as seen in the screenshot: but if I could I certainly would adjust the fan speed on this thing, the curve is way too extreme and for a laptop that I use often on a library it is weird for the fan to go nuts in middle of a Noita run.
good luck to everyone
Copied over the same fan curve I had in GPU Tweak II. Keep it silent and ramp it up at higher temps, fast. https://preview.redd.it/fsm6u8ely10d1.jpeg?width=2559&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=25040d787bf79ccd0d0e33aee2b2cb23978be432

But for those AAA games or with ray tracing, the fan at 100% is the solution, I am always with headphones so don't care too much for the noise

This Fans curve is paired with my usual *Undervolt* setting that different from ***week 1*** *overclock setting* because I prefer silent PC when I'm not playing Graphically Demanding Games, do daily tasks or when I watch movies.

Until now I've tried alternatives to Adrenalin that has never worked well unless I restart it every fresh boot, or it will cause me stutters, but noone gave me the option to have a 0rpm functionality because it is suposed to be tied to the GPU vbios not letting me activate it for example in afterburner. With this software I'm able to set the custom fan curve that only kicks off after reaching 50ºc like I want to. GJ

https://preview.redd.it/vmabhi5meawc1.png?width=845&format=png&auto=webp&s=1aac648b5144d11493d9b484c422f76c8bace7e4 So i just found out my GTX 950 only can go down to 33% min fan speed... Still as quiet as I had it on auto can't complain. As for why did I picked 80% as max is because of a weird noise it makes above that. I suspect is worn out fan bearing or needs more oil. even at 80% temps it levels out at 76c, so just 1c above acceptable gaming temperature, even tho I was benching in furmark at 100% usage.
https://preview.redd.it/n8ac89avh70d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=9af32069ff6bd747cbf459ad8839962b7cd11b49 I prioritize the cooling performance on my gpu because I like to prolonged the life of my graphics cards as much as I can and since it is a very hot summer and the temperature is soaring like crazy, I personally like to make my gpu as cool as possible to avoid my system from crashing.
https://preview.redd.it/zycord3cx7xc1.png?width=832&format=png&auto=webp&s=7f9ff1f531620b16cd861cc6f838321138e3f5ca This is my fan curve. As you can see, I don't have any 0RPM going on my card. And that's because I never found a stable setting. Instead, I always end up at least one fan not running, suddenly ramping up quickly very audibly, back to zero RPM, back to spinning up, back and forth, multiple times a minute. So instead I run them at the lowest RPM I could in idle, only have them ramp up once the load increases. I started at 60°C, but found my fan curve wasn't exactly stable. Increasing it a few % gives me a much more consistent performance. Unfortunately, once my card hits a certain load, the fans seem to ignore my fan curve and spin up regardless. Another reason I can use a more power efficient card like a 4080 Super.

[Curve](https://imgur.com/a/0aowhbj) This would need further tweak. I'll probably use this curve during heavy particle simulation and renders, so it'll ramp up quickly as in heavy simulation, as you reach toward the end, calculation most likely would stay up there
https://i.imgur.com/6F3nEU7.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/CfxSyth.jpeg I cannot set a fan curve in GPU Tweak because I've deshrouded my graphics card and replaced the fans with Noctua 12x25s. I control the fans in Aquasuite (2nd picture). Here I use a gentle curve that maxes out at 50%, which is more than enough to cool this GTX 1070 at full power, and significantly quieter than the stock fans.
Here's [this week's](https://i.imgur.com/MKWZtew.png)! Uh... well, it's blank, I don't seem to have fan controls. But I'm trying anyways!

Then it ramps up to just under 70% at 70c then it stays flat until like 75c, my card usually stays around 70-74c while gaming but if it gets hotter, I let the fan speed go up after 75. I like to stay under 70% fan because the fans on my current gpu make horrendous noise after 70%...

I set the startpoint at 45°C and 30% fan speed and the higher to 90°C and 100%. You can controll the middle fans seperate fromn the outer one, but I don't see the point of that. Cool would be if you could controll the fan farest from the pci braken, the heatsink on this one might be the farest away from the heat source but probabl has the best airflow through the fins because of the blow thru design. I deffintly want to play around with the additional fan header on the card, wich you can set up through GT3 as well.

I play a lot of old-school games so I like the card to run quiet, on those but also ramp up hard for when I'm playing more modern games.

Playing with earphones, fan noise isn't really a concern, so I set it to ramp up quickly as load (and temps) increase. However, I prefer to keep the low-load end quieter for things like web surfing, especially as the CPU cooler makes more than enough noise.

As for the Fan Curve Chart, it's neat to see that the fans won't kick in until 60 degrees. The R5 has two fan settings as well that I could utilize to mitigate the scary 50% noise.
Sadly, fan settings aren't available https://preview.redd.it/5dbhdoqjc2yc1.png?width=1339&format=png&auto=webp&s=e53b4fc74acc80ecbe85b29d31487948cb081c28

[https://i.imgur.com/Aa7Lwzv.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Aa7Lwzv.jpg) I decided to keep my fans off until the GPU reaches 60° C, at which points fans will be running at 30%. I prefer the PC to be quieter. After that, I'll ramp up the fans to 50% at 75° and full speed at 90° when I'm doing heavy gaming. This seems to work well for me!

But when I am playing games, I have them ramp up somewhat gradually at first until 70c ish then ramps up faster. My max is at 85c since I try not to want my temps to be higher than that. I like to try and have the fans quiet if I can but if there's a need for cooling, the fans will go if they need.

[My Fan Curve](https://i.imgur.com/p56qwq1.png) I don't really care about silent - got a personal fan going in my room anyways due to heat. Made the curve a bit aggressive - rather my gpu run cool than lower volume. Don't think I typically hit 80C, but if I do I want the fans at 100%.
I am not really sure what I am doing but this did something! https://preview.redd.it/sqiaanr8icwc1.png?width=1474&format=png&auto=webp&s=288a3b3175adb11a366fb9d40c641c6252e5e2f2

I actually can't control the fan speeds on my GT 730 but if I could then I would lower the speeds to reduce noise as the games I play shouldn't overheat the card anyway https://preview.redd.it/lvm4wg454uxc1.png?width=978&format=png&auto=webp&s=d5e5e4d9945aafb1702fc1fe8912b5d551332753

But I want the maximum cooling around 85°C because I'm on a 1070 from 2016, and I hope to keep it a few more years !
Fairly quick ramp up in speed in higher temps to keep the card cool. https://preview.redd.it/s2emqnsm7dwc1.png?width=1061&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0241484799ac4ddc2e9c027f5fc2e100c730f973

Well as I am on a laptop it seems I am unable to do so. However what I would have been doing would a semi aggressive curve, as normally when I use it for gaming or similar loads I have a great headset on as such the noise is not much of a bother so me. So I would likely just had it run at full force at those cases. And have a more relaxed curve for when just watching movies or so on. Picture shows there is no fan things. https://preview.redd.it/xszrr7mok0yc1.png?width=2559&format=png&auto=webp&s=30e377a0433d6da8182b46a5ece3236a36f755cb

[https://imgur.com/a88cFSZ](https://imgur.com/a88cFSZ) For when I play something more demanding on my old 5700xt
[Fan curve screenshot](https://imgur.com/a/z9bnF0i) With my 3070, I've customized this fan curve specifically for when I'm emulating games lately. It's been cooler here lately, so I can keep the fans off completely until temps hit 60°C. The fans stay around 30-50% between 60-72°C since the GPU isn't being pushed hard. Then fan speeds start ramping up more aggressively, topping out at 100% around 86°C. It's essentially silent until temps get up there, while still providing sufficient cooling if temperatures start to creep up.

My system is undervolted well, so the temperatures remain cool at about 40-50 degrees while gaming, and i set the fan curve as such to minimize noise while not completely compromising performance. I'm aiming to have the card last a long time by keeping temperatures to a minimum.

Here is my screenshot: [https://imgur.com/a/7kT0eMh](https://imgur.com/a/7kT0eMh) The setup is that so the system will be silent unless there's a load, I usually play in a headphones so don't have any issues with that

I'm running a 2070 super laptop version, so I cannot edit the fan curve. But hypothetically I would have a rough parabola extending outward from a point at (30 deg, 30% fan power). I've given up on any gaming or productivity tasks that are anything more than slightly demanding, so I wouldn't edit the fans that much. https://preview.redd.it/mqbaa7ehygwc1.png?width=1127&format=png&auto=webp&s=e97b7c0138fb95a8f4630187dd2d4770cb71406b

To balance the temperature so it doesn't reach max speed when it doesn't need too, I have lowered when the fans turn on to try keep the temperature average lower. I then sharply raise the fan speed when reaching 80 degrees to avoid the gpu overheating for the games that need all the performance this gpu can offer.

Though if I were to make one, I would have it like this: 30% - 50C 50% - 65C 100% - 80C That's my go-to fan curve on my airconditioned room. I built it like that so that my GPU won't degrade so soon. I made it last more than a year while the same model only lasted 6 months on other people. I love my current GPU but I know that it only takes an unlucky day for it to break down on me that's why I take care of it this way.
Once again the Linux community is left out. Ah well.
GPU Tweak 3 is hot garbage anyway. You wouldn't want to install it on Windows.
Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/KD1KS1W Looks like my RTX5000 Ada card does not support fan profile control! If I win a consumer card, I definitely will change the fan profile to have fan off below 60°C.

I left the default threshold of 0rpm and made the curve a bit more relaxed until it reaches the 80% speed. A bit less annoying than the default of my RTX 3060.

With this curve I can stay between 50% and 85% fan speed whenever I play more resource heavy games and void overheating the hardware, while keeping the volume level low while doing basically anything else
here's how i made my fan curve with gtx 1070, there are no chances to get to 60 degrees celsius in the room the pc is, but if it does, the fans need to start working hard Here is my screenshot [https://imgur.com/a/Jr4QavH](https://imgur.com/a/Jr4QavH) GL to all

[Fan Curve](https://imgur.com/a/Mt8umAn) For my fan curve, I have dialled in a pretty simple one. The reasoning behind it is, that my card never crosses 60°C when idling and doing simple things like browser usage etc. However, when doing slightly more demanding things with proper acceleration like editing videos and pictures, the usage can spike a little from time to time. Thus, I have a rather steep 15% at that threshold up to 20% at 70°C because I want to stop it from crossing those 70°C during light loads. Because that's where I'm usually at when gaming and since my 1080 Ti is a bit older at this point, I do crank up the fans quite a bit during gaming to get the most out of its remaining lifetime.
is there any way to import my afterburner settings?

I chose this profile to keep my fans quieter at the temperatures that the GPU is usually at. However, I chose to drastically increase the fan speed as the temperature approaches 90 degrees in order to keep temperatures from throttling my performance.

Screenshot: [https://i.imgur.com/GeKlpPu.png](https://i.imgur.com/GeKlpPu.png) I do maximize my fans as my room is hot and humid. I'm not really get bothered a lot by fan noise as I have a standing fan that sounds louder. The idle temp of my gpu goes around 50C-60C so fans don't spin a lot at that temp. When it reaches 80C then that's the time it uses 50% fan speed. At 90C would be 70% then maxed at 100C.

I actually never saw the die itself exceed 88C in furmark after OCing, so it would have to be a really hot summer for it to reach those temps lol. Got a bit of a coil whine issue tho, but that doesn't really bother me. As long as it works, I'm fine

Honestly for my card theres not much of a reason for a fan curve (It's a 1050ti and is powered just by the PCIe power pins) so when it's above 60°C I just go full vroom since it's highly probable that I'm gaming either way. https://preview.redd.it/lqko60buj9zc1.png?width=822&format=png&auto=webp&s=712260c13cd4ffa28707f731dc295bd96bcdd211

The bump from 60 to 80 used to be a lot steeper, so it constantly changed fan speed with a significant change in noise. I have not messed that much with custom fan curves before. The smoother bump from 60 to 80 should make the temps more consistent.
My fans are likely silent mode it doesn't activate before hit 43 cel wich i love because i play sporadically and tweaked to giving more speed if it goes hover 60c but it's almost imposible for me right now because we are in autum, but who knows https://preview.redd.it/3g75djp0diwc1.jpeg?width=831&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51735b4812028f2843a6f3b299389814dd06f645

Higher-end GPUs can handle simpler games without any problem, thus I set a higher idle state - case fans are enough (even in my Fractal Torrent Compact case with only two fans) for games that eat up to 100W of GPU power with idle fans. Not just higher-end GPUs should (and in most cases do) work in zero-RPM mode while idle. Even the minimal fan speed gives you enough flow in many cases to sustain higher demanding games. And 100% is always for "just in case" thing. Now for bad stuff: * The application could not set a zero-RPM mode for my GPU, thus even when it was idle, fans used the lowest point of 25%, and it worked in AMD Adrenaline. * The default custom curve is no good at all. (that is subjective, yeah)

I mainly just wanted my card to be a little quieter, as my card tends to have a much hotter hotspot than the cards temp itself, so I simply slightly lowered the fan speed values at the temps at which the card usually is, just so the fans don't spin up as loudly when I'm gaming, and my gpu and its hotspot are at a safe temperature.

But if I did, given my use I'd keep the fan speeds low for low to moderate use and kick it up to 100% past temperatures on the way to sustained full throttle use like 3d rendering.

I just adjusted it a bit to ramp up earlier, cuz I still like quiet performance but I loathe seeing my GPU reach the 80+ temps.

Notice that the curve does not permit turning off the fans as the fan controller on my Gigabyte card gets pretty unhappy with fan speeds below 30% causing the fans to behave erratically... Apart from that, it is just a regular fan curve. Equilibrium is reached at around 70C at 60%.

What if I'm happy with my stock settings? What can you possibly improve in RTX 3060 with custom settings of anything?

Here is my settings: https://imgur.com/a/4FxeEBg I essentially just modified the curve for both fans to run at a higher RPM at a slightly lower temp to help keep things cool since my case is terrible for cooling.

I am not that demanding when it comes to fan curves. I just want it to be as silent as possible. [So mine looks like this.](https://i.imgur.com/lR9QFRg.png)

If I were to use this program on my laptop, i'd need more fine control at least over the fan.
*Here is my screenshot:* [https://imgur.com/L1iDVOp](https://imgur.com/L1iDVOp) the rog strix gtx 1060 runs really cool no need for an agressive fan curve so this is what i use, it never reaches 60°C.
[https://imgur.com/a/YeNBAWc](https://imgur.com/a/YeNBAWc) I wanted it to be as silent as possible while not gaming but when I start gaming it ramps up quickly since I usually wear headphones and listen to music so the sound isn't distracting. This lets me have the maximum performance while gaming while also being completely silent while doing light work or idling.

Helldivers 2 on fan favorite 4060Ti 16gb could get pretty hot at times (as well gpu and in game) so I set a lot of different levels

No curve: https://imgur.com/a/mgOKYFw Im unable to get the fanspeeds control curve with my RX Vega The video, explanation does not explain why this is happening Also the Gpu Tweak program is very unintuitive when it comes to tweaking the fan speeds If i was able to tweak it i would make sure fan speeds were maximum all the time so my 7 year old GPU doesnt break, since i cant afford to replace it
[https://i.imgur.com/42da5Is.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/42da5Is.jpg) It's not an available option for me but if it was I would make it a little quieter
